Jean-Baptiste L. Romé de l'Isle died #OTD in 1790.
Romé de l'Isle's interest in crystals began during his captivity on the Isle of Bourbon where he had ample time to study minerals. His most comprehensive work, "Cristallographie" (1783), was published in 4 volumes. His systematic approach and detailed observations laid the foundation for modern crystallography. He is also credited with formalizing the Law of Constancy of Interfacial Angles.
